Mounds View Planning Commission August 6, 1997 <br /> • <br /> Regular Meeting Page 8 <br /> Staff is proposing changes to section 1010 by adding typical, minor construction projects <br /> to the list of activities for which administrative authority is given for issuing permits and <br /> by creating two types of permits: a wetland alteration permit and a wetland buffer permit <br /> to eliminate confusion. <br /> Staff is suggesting that building additions and impervious surfaces which are 1264 square <br /> feet in size or less, and additions to detached garages, accessory buildings and driveways <br /> which do not require a conditional use permit be added to this list of projects that Staff <br /> can approve administratively. This would simplify the process for homeowners who want <br /> to add porches, decks, patios and room additions. <br /> Director Sheldon stated it is the staffs recommendation to adopt Resolution No. 520-97, <br /> recommending approval of the revision to the Wetland Zoning District. <br /> Commissioner Miller requested that on page 7, item 2, of the proposed ordinance, the <br /> number 864 be changed to read 1264 to be consistent with the square footage as stated in <br /> item 6, page 7. <br /> Director Sheldon stated that the criteria for the wetland permits has been reorganized <br /> into four categories instead of 21. <br /> • <br /> Commissioner Johnston asked if the Corp of Engineers was involved with the wetland <br /> issues that were under discussion. <br /> Director Sheldon stated that the Corp of Engineers as well as the DNR had authority <br /> within the wetland but not the wetland buffer. <br /> The Commissioners offered various proofreading changes that needed to be made to <br /> Ordinance No. 602. These changes were noted by Director Sheldon. <br /> Motion/second: Peterson/Obert to adopt Resolution No. 520-97, recommending approval of the <br /> revision to the Wetland Zoning district, as amended and corrected. <br /> Ayes - 6 Nays - 0 <br /> Motion carried. <br /> 9.
